Hi Michał, It looks like you missed two from your original set? app-editors/nano[magic] Add magic file support (sys-apps/file) to automatically detect appropriate syntax highlighting www-servers/pshs[magic] Enable automatic detection of Content-Type using libmagic (sys-apps/file) Thanks, Fabian On 19-08-2019 22:04:12 +0200, Michał Górny wrote: > On Sun, 2019-08-11 at 13:21 +0200, Michał Górny wrote: > > USE=magic is currently used consistently by 12 packages: > > > > Merged. > > -- > Best regards, > Michał Górny > -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Fun fact: when I saw this Subject on the ml, I assumed it was probably going to be a poorly named flag for features provided by ImageMagick. But I guess that'd be magick, not magic. "magic" is too overloaded a term :/ pgpS2bSoU649O.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Yes, but `magic` doesn't really gives much of an idea on the feature and could get a bit of confusion, I think `libmagic` is better on this regard as it's closer to what would be used without much context and it's clear that it's about a dependency on sys-apps/file and not some kind of magic feature (which is a quite overloaded word in computing). (auto-mimetype doesn't works at all btw, file/libmagic is much more precise than mimetypes)

I didn't mean to be hostile. I just meant to visually explain that your suggestion is long way from the initial point (hence 'standing on your head'), and it's going to be confusing. -- Best regards, Michał Górny signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Re: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH] use.desc: Introduce global USE=magic
The USE flag naming feels a bit to be desired by me. That's because I don't believe in USE flags having to be named by the external dep they introduce, but by functionality. USE=magic sounds like a USE flag that adds some wizards into your application, automagic behavior or who knows (until you read the description). Not that I have a much better suggestion. USE=auto-mimetypes?
